Squeak-

Its been awhile since I did it but I remember being able to record the kick and snare on one track, then do cymbals on 2nd track and I think fills and toms, etc on a 3rd...

To have to go through the entire length of a tune to record each part drove me crazy. If there was a faster way to do it, I couldn't figure it out from the dense owner manuals. PLUS, I even called KORG support and asked and was told I was doing it the best way. I also remember the cut/paste functions being beyond my understanding.

To then go back and lay down bass, and keys, strings, ...No, no, no...NOT for me...By the time I would finish a single song...I was so frustrated at the time it took.

I remember specifically a comment a KORG tech said to me one day trying to walk me through something. It was how I first really heard about arrangers...

The guy said, "...You probably would've been happier with one of our arrangers...These workstations aren't for everyone..."

Personally, I found the manual to be often more confusing than helpful. I don't consider myself mush of a techie...and the Triton just blew me out of the water.

Add in the pathetic piano sounds...the board just wasn't for me. I play lots of standards, oldies, country, etc...I don;'t ever need wild sawtooth sounds for example. The arrpegiator was another thing that I never had a clue how I could ever really use.

Bottom line, I bought the absolutely worst board for my needs I probably could've...No one to blame but myself.

Oh well, live and learn...The Tyros has better sounds (for my needs, at least) is easier for me to use, and soemthing that has made an incredible impact on my business...
